I had/have a similar issue with a single CPD after having my group for several months. I'm not sure mine has fin issues but was very obviously not getting enough food. I let it go for a couple weeks but finally moved the fish to another tank in case whatever it is spreads. I moved mine in an unheated tank that I toss plant clippings into. I've been feeding small amounts every few days...use NLS here also but now have live micro worms (thanks Dad) so I offer those also. The fish is still kicking, looks a little better but hard to see with all the plant clippings. I would move the fish especially if you think it has any sort of rot/fungus.

The 10gallon I mentioned just has a cheap sponge filter powered by a small/cheap air pump. I don't run lights or anything on it but it sits near a window and generally has a lot of plant clippings from when I trim.
You wouldn't need anything really big for a single CPD but you would probably want a bubbler on it at least and do daily water changes. If you have any spare plants or something that floats for hiding in and preventing jumping that would be good. Be careful about feeding without any real fitration as you can quickly overfeed a small container with one fish.
